Refraction of light in water Refraction is the change in direction of a wave due to a change in its transmission medium. Due to change of medium‚ the phase velocity of the wave is changed but its frequency remains constant. This is most commonly observed when a wave passes from one medium to another at any angle other than 90° or 0°. Refraction of light is the most commonly observed phenomenon‚ When light travels from air into water‚ it slows down‚ causing it to change direction slightly. This

The microscope has been one of the greatest inventions in the history of science and has had the most impact on the course of science. Ever since the first microscope was invented in 1590‚ they have improved our knowledge in basic biology and biomedical research‚ as well as many other things‚ all of which are important. The smallest object a human can see with the naked eye is 0.2 mm‚ for example‚ algae cells. The light microscope‚ however‚ allows us to see things almost 1000 times smaller that what

Group no. 6 EN212-01191 GHW2: Mechanism Description (draft) August 15‚ 2012 COMPOUND MICROSCOPE A compound microscope is an optical instrument used to see objects that are too small for the naked eye. A compound microscope is a microscope fitted with two or more convex lenses. The high magnification produced by these lenses together enables a detailed study of micro-organisms‚ cells and tissues. These types of microscopes are therefore widely used in scientific and medical research

Julie Smith 2/14/2017 Bio 220 Lab Report Learning How to Use the Compound Light Microscope Introduction: Microscope is an instrument used to grow pictures of little questions that are difficult to see with the unaided eye. The compound light magnifying instrument‚ which will be utilized as a part of this lab movement‚ is an instrument with two focal points and different handles to center the picture. In this lab‚ we will learn about the proper use and handling of the microscope. Objectives:

Lab 4 Tissues Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to disover Histology or the study of tissues. Tissue make up a large part of our bodies and in this lab we will learn about the different types and functions of tissues. Hypothesis: I believe at the end of this lab If I am willing to do the reasearch the I will be able to use a mircoscope to look at different tissue samples and learn about the many types of tissue cells and their functions. Materials: The internet Book:Human Antomony

1. Properties of light Reflection The speed of light is measured through the equation: v = λ f. However‚ it turns out that when light is reflected off a surface its speed stays the same. This was first proven by Sir Isaac Newton. Under the assumption of perfectly elastic collision‚ the laws of reflection follow from the laws of motion. To demonstrate‚ consider a particle traveling towards a flat frictionless surface whose horizontal and vertical velocity components are: VX and VY. When the particle

AIM : To find refractive index of any liquid (water) using a concave mirror. APPARATUS: A concave spherical mirror‚ water‚ an optical needle‚ a clamp stand‚ one meter scale‚ plumb line‚ etc. THEORY: If the tip of object needle 0 be at the centre of curvature C‚ tip of image will exactly coincide with it. (Principle axis is verticle to the plane). When water is filled in concave mirror‚ object needle is again replaced to move to C’ to remove parallax between tips of object needle and its image. A
